Start with 5–10 minutes of moderate cardio followed by a 5-minute dynamic stretching sequence to prep your back for targeted exercises.2. Resistance Band Pull-ApartMany people start their back workout with resistance band pull-apart exercises. This exercise is simple but effective. Choose a resistance band that allows you to complete 1–2 sets of 15–20 reps with good form.The main movement of this exercise is scapular retraction, which means you’re pulling your shoulder blades together.3. Lat PulldownThis exercise can be completed with a resistance band or on a machine at the gym. This exercise targets middle, and lower back muscles, along with posterior deltoids, rhomboids, biceps, and forearms. It is an important exercise for those who want strong back muscles.4.
